OFFICIAL RECORD COPY REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH REACTOR DOCKET NO. 50-20
- 1. Your application states that the simultaneous occurrence of the DBA and failure of an in-core fissile material experiment are not considered credible. Please provide a justification for this statement.
- 2. With regard to the temperature scram:
- a. How is the temperature measured (i.e., thermocouple, etc.)? Is there to be any redundancy?
- b. The proposed TSs do not address test, surveillance, and calibration requirements for this proposed safety channel. Please propose a surveillance TS for this safety channel or justify not having a surveillance.
- 3. The High Core Purge Monitor will alarm if the reading exceeds the setpoint of 100 kcpm.
The analysis concludes that a reading of 44 kcpm over background (which is presumably 22 kcpm), i.e., a reading of 66 kcpm, would indicate the escape of fission product gases.
Why the large margin between the alarm setpoint and indication of the presence of fission product gases?
- 4. Proposed Specification 7, Radioactive Releases, states that releases of radioactivity in excess of the 10 CFR Part 20 annual average concentration limits will not occur. We assume that you mean the values in Table 2, Column 1, Effluent Concentration in Air.
However, a burst of radioactivity can easily exceed these values in the short term. Please clarify if your proposed TS limits are the instantaneous values in Part 20 or the concentration that would result if the radioactive inventory released by the experiment were averaged over a year. Your proposed TS states that experiments shall be designed so that operation will not result in unacceptable exposures. Does this include credible malfunctions or accidents? The purpose of TS 6.1.7 is to limit accident releases. Please clarify.
- 5. You state on page 6 of your evaluation that there will be no additional thyroid dose because none of the fission product gases affect the thyroid. What happened to the iodine that is present as a fission product gas?
